Description

When creating a TextField with alignment right and a hintText the cursor is placed on the left side of the text, which looks like it is actual text the user has to clear 
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor:"#fff"});
var tf = Ti.UI.createTextField({
    textAlign: Ti.UI.TEXT_ALIGNMENT_RIGHT,
	width:200,
	height:40,
	borderColor: "red",
	hintText: "TestTest",
    hintTextColor:"#888",
    color:"#000"
});
win.add(tf);
win.open();
on iOS the cursor is on the right side which looks better for the user. Android 6 SDK 5.3.1.GA (and 5.4.0.v20160720201924)
